I quit my job and now I have to figure out how to keep an active 3-year-old occupied all. summer. long.

And not just, like, “infront of the TV”occupied. I need to keep him learning, growing, and stimulated in a positive way. That was part of my promise to myself and my family when we decided to take the hit of my leaving my job. So how do I do that? Well, some time ago I told you about TakeLessons, a service that connects students and families with private music teachers, arts instructors and academic tutors throughout the US. I’m really intrigued by this idea because (1.) we have the time to focus on lessons now, (2.) my son is at the age where he is interested in learning anything and everything, and I want to run with that, and (3.) we live in a rural area, where the selection of lesson-type things is slim pickin’s, for sure.

TakeLessons provides in-home and in-studio lessons, as well as online lessons, which would be a great choice for us! All we need is a computer with a webcam, a Skype account, and a good Internet connection. (I just got rid of a whack commute, and I sure don’t want another one for lessons!)

Here’s a quick video that shows how it works:

Safety and quality are top priorities for TakeLessons; every instructor completes an extensive interview, training, and an annual criminal background check. They assist with scheduling, initial coordination and billing – so all you have to worry about is enjoying your lessons!
